Please solve the following equation: 2.5(x-3)+1.7x=10.8(x+1.5)Include a step by step how you solved the problem. Your help is much appreciated!

The Given equation is:

2.5(x
- 3) + 1.7x = 10.8(x + 1.5)

Solving the equation means
finding the value of 'x' in this equation.

This can be done
as follows:

Step 1: Open the
brackets

2.5x - 2.5*3 + 1.7x = 10.8x +
10.8*1.5

==> 2.5x - 7.5 + 1.7x = 10.8x +
16.2

Step 2: Transfer all terms of equation containing x to
left hand side and other terms containing only numbers to tight hand side of
equation.

==> 2.5x + 1.7x - 10.8x = 16.2 +
7.5

Please note that when we change the side of any term
its sign gets reversed from + to -, and vice versa.

Step 3:
Add terms on each side of equation.

==> -6.6x =
23.7

Step 4: Divide both side of equation by 6.6. This done
so that the left hand side will become equal to
x.

==> x = 23.7/(-6.6) =
-3.591
